Can We Harvest Your Fruit Trees?

This request has two goals - fruit for the Campus Kitchen and fruit to make wine for a fundraiser for a meditation center.

Currently, sour cherries are just finishing their season, and a group of friends and myself are trying to harvest a bunch to make wine to sell. If you let us come pick your tree, you'll get 1-2 bottles at the end to enjoy. Rhubarb also makes a good wine, let me know if you have that as well.

Later on, it would be good to get apples, pears, plums, peaches, etc for our Campus Kitchen meals and snacks. Please let me know if you or a neighbor have trees that our volunteers could come pick.

Thanks!
